Transferware

Transferware is a style of ceramics and pottery most often seen in dinnerware and other table and household items. It uses transfer printing, a decorative technique which was developed in England in the mid-18th century, particularly around the Staffordshire region. Transferware can be earthenware, stoneware, ironstone, porcelain, or china. The invention of transfer printing originally made fine china affordable for middle class families but transferware has since become a valuable collector’s item. See the page "About Transferware" for more information.
